So after all that fuss everyone made about Jeremy Clarkson hosting Have I Got News For You after getting the boot from Top Gear, it turns out he’s decided that going on the BBC show isn’t such a great idea after all.
Phew.
Jezza’s appearance had been scheduled for 24 April , but a HIGNFY producer revealed today that it will not go ahead.
"On reflection, Jeremy Clarkson has decided not to host Have I Got News For You. We fully expect him to resume his hosting duties later in the year," Hat Trick Productions's managing director Jimmy Mulville told the London Evening Standard.
Not a bad idea to be honest. Unless you want another poor BBC producer to get a face-full of Jezza’s giant ham-fist.
